Summary

[edit]
Description Don Rogers receives the flag at his brother's, U.S. Navy Fireman 1st Class Walter B. Rogers, graveside service at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Oct. 2, 2017. Rogers perished on the USS Oklahoma when it was attacked by Japanese aircraft at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Remains of the deceased crew were recovered from December 1941 to June 1944 and were subsequently interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanu Cemeteries. In September 1947, the remains were disinterred and 35 men from the USS Oklahoma were identified by the American Graves Registration Service (AGRS) at the Central Identification Laboratory at Schofield Barracks. AGRS subsequently buried the unidentified remains in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP), known as “the Punchbowl”, in Honolulu. In April 2015, the Deputy Secretary of Defense issued a policy memorandum directing the disinterment of unknowns associated with the USS Oklahoma. In 2017, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) personnel exhumed the remains from the NMCP and were able to positively identify Rogers through DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence.
